​Hello! My name is Michelle
Roberts. I am a Special Education Teacher and one of the Speech
Language Pathologists at Pine Island Public Schools. I have been working with elementary, middle, and high school students
in 1st through 12th grade since 2007. I am very grateful to be a part of the team
in the Pine Island School District.

My family roots are from Rose Creek, MN a very small town southeast of
Austin. I am originally a "Rebel" graduating from Southland High
School, in Adams, MN. I started college later in life attending Mankato
State University where I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in
Communication Disorders. I later received my Master of Science Degree
from the same college, although with a slight name change to Minnesota
State University, Mankato. I have my American Speech Language and
Hearing Association (ASHA) Certification in Speech Language
Pathology. I have many years experience in the public schools, which
also includes Caledonia Elementary School and Jefferson Elementary in
the Rochester School District.

I love my job and the many students I work with. However, my heart
truly belongs to my family. My husband, Rodney, is a deputy for Goodhue
County. We have five children in our family and two dogs. My husband's
two oldest children, Ricky and Ashley, are both married and have
children of their own. Although they live far away, having grand
children is a wonderful blessing. My husband and I also have three children together Madeline, Benjamin, and Isabella. In my free
time, I really enjoy spending time with my family, reading, playing
games, camping, and other outdoor activities.

I look forward to many years of teaching and the exciting new
experiences along the way. Please feel free to contact me with any
speech and language concerns for your child.
